Matthew McConaughey speaks out against mask hesitancy amid rumors he's running for Texas governor
Fox News
Matthew McConaughey spoke out against mask hesitancy during an interview about a potential run for office in Texas.
In addition to calling for an end to band-aid solutions, he also used the debate over masks amid the coronavirus pandemic to highlight the often senseless political divide he sees among Americans. "I think the best example, for my mind, this last year is the damn dispute over the masks that got politicized," the actor explained. "I’m going, ‘come on man. I’m not believing you’re really scared of this little cotton thing. I’m not believing you really feel that takes away your identity and your freedom.’ This is a short-term inconvenience for long-term freedom."More Related News
